I've been patiently waiting to borrow the audiobook of Cursed for months on Libby and let me just start by saying it was well worth the wait.
Marissa Meyer continues to have the perfect stranglehold on romance tropes that make my heart race. Someone give this woman a medal, seriously.
The pacing of this one was a bit too fast at times and a touch too slow at others and the new conflicts at every turn didn't offer much breathing room for Serilda and Gild's relationship which is my favorite element of the duology. I wish this book had some more moments of them talking and just being together to ease the conflict a bit.
Overall the HEA feels earned and the story was great, but this is the weaker book in the duology in my opinion.
